The rise of the prince

Chapter 782 Caution
The rain in May and June came as soon as it was said, and the sky was still clear and muggy just now, and people were sweating profusely. After a while, dark clouds covered, lightning and thunder, cold wind came from the southeast, and the air became cooler in an instant.

After a while, under the dark sky, the rain curtain was drawn from the distant mountain tops, and soon, big raindrops fell around me.

On the contrary, the soldiers were excited. The summer rain did not chill, but could resist the scorching heat.

At this time, the Chinese army was just in front of Qigou Pass, and Li Xingzhou, surrounded by everyone, climbed to the top building of Qigou Pass to avoid the rain.

The sound of raindrops became louder and louder, the sweltering heat dissipated, and there was a burst of coolness. The army continued to march despite the rain, striving to reach Yanshan Mansion within the next day.

He stood at the top of the city and looked at the surrounding terrain. In fact, it was not dangerous, and the hillsides on both sides of the pass were not very steep.But Qigou Pass is the gateway to the south of Yanshan Mansion. After passing through Qigou Pass, Yanshan Mansion, an important throat town, will be exposed to the future Chinese capital.

Except for Yan Shen, the former commander-in-chief of the army, everyone else is around, but they don't understand their emotions.

Because in this life, Qigou Pass is just a pass that is not so dangerous and not so famous, but in later generations, the 20 troops of the Northern Song Dynasty fell into the sand here, tens of thousands of dead, and fell apart. Since then, it has even had a long-term impact The foreign strategy of the Northern Song Dynasty, national ideology, etc.

It can be said that without him, this place would be an extremely important place. The fate of the country in the south and the situation in the north would all be decided in the battle of Qigou Pass.

But because of his arrival, Yanshan Mansion was breached, without the battle of Qigouguan, this place is not so conspicuous, but ordinary.

For the first time, Li Xingzhou felt that he might have changed history. Indeed, in the long river of history, he had stirred up his own first wave.

Once again, stepping on Qigou Pass, the gate of Yanshan Mansion, with great pride in his chest, he couldn't help but read: "Xiongguan Pass is as long as iron, and now I'm going to start from the beginning!"

The teacher's words and sentences are always majestic and full of heroism and desolation, but this sentence fully expresses the pride in his heart, and there is a sense of carefreeness.

"My lord is very talented." Wei Yubai smiled beside him, "But it seems that it is not just talent."

Li Xingzhou laughed and looked at the rain outside: "Even if it is talent, it is not mine. This is an elder's word, and I recited it casually."

However, he immediately thought that this poem was actually written by the teacher after the victory of the most critical battle in Sidu Chishui.

What Li Xingzhou thought of was crossing Chishui four times, the national army was 40 against [-], and Jiang himself was almost killed. This kind of battle now looks like a fairy operation, and it will be called too fake when written in YY novels .

40, I can drown 3 people with just one mouthful of saliva!

But this really happened in reality, and it was still a battle fought when there were planes in the sky to detect the enemy's movements, and the various armies could use radio to communicate and command.

It is not an exaggeration to say that the teacher's operation is shocking.

This also reminded Li Xingzhou that there is no fixed number of wars, and an excellent commander can turn decay into magic, and impossible into possibility.

What's more, he doesn't think he has the general strategy of the teacher, nor the talent, so he can only make up for it with seriousness and caution.

I have an advantage in weapons and equipment, but after so many wars in the Kingdom of Jin, there must be experienced generals. If a negligence falls, I am not ready to escape with a plane at any time like Jiang. In this age, once caught Even gods can't save him from death.

On the eaves, the rain in the gutter began to splash and stay, and when the water curtain was pulled out, Li Xingzhou's expression became serious.

"What's wrong? His Highness's expression is not right." Wei Yubai asked.

"Haha, I was just thinking about the people in the Kingdom of Jin who can fight. They say that if you know yourself and the enemy, you can win a hundred battles. But in the past few months, we seem to have been too focused on our own development and forgot to learn more about the Kingdom of Jin." Li Xingzhou said.

"His Royal Highness, my subordinates actually feel this way too, so I have been asking about Jin Guo's affairs many times since a few months ago, and now I know a little bit about it." Yang Hongzhao said, cupping his hands.

Li Xingzhou turned around, looked at the veteran in surprise, and then laughed loudly: "Hahaha, as expected of General Yang, I think you have a good idea, and you have thought about it for a few months longer than me.

Tell me what you know. "

Yang Hongzhao smiled, obviously he had been prepared for a long time: "My lord, there are so many people in the Kingdom of Jin who can fight. In the past few years, they have fought all the way from Liaodong to Shangjing, and then to Shanhaiguan. They are all veteran soldiers, and the generals and schools are all capable of fighting.

The most notable of these people is their Liao King Wanyan Zongbi. "

"Wanyan Zongbi, I know this person." Li Xingzhou said, he is Wanyan Wugunai's younger brother.

"That's right, almost half of the kingdom of Jin was conquered by him. He is the younger brother of Jin Taizu. At the beginning, when the Jurchens raised their troops from Liaodong, there were only a few warriors who charged into the battle. Slowly, the more they fought, the more they became like generals.

After the Kingdom of Jin captured Shangjing and established the country, Wanyan Wugu had many things to deal with as the leader of the country, so the army was actually under the command of his younger brother Wanyan Zongbi, who was invincible wherever he went. "

Li Xingzhou nodded: "Such an opponent has to be taken seriously. He should be the commander of the Jin Army with a high probability. He is the brother of the first emperor and has high prestige in the army." , Veteran 45 to hit [-] and still being tricked around, at this time the value of the general is reflected.

"Wanyan Zongbi." Li Xingzhou said the name silently, and remembered it in his heart.

He doesn't have any more advantages in military strength, at most it is [-]-[-] compared with Jin Guo. The new army has an advantage in firearms, but he can't be careless. Compared with people like Wanyan Zongbi, his war experience is too little.

Afterwards, Yang Hongzhao told him some more detailed information about the Jin Kingdom, such as the Jurchen clans and their relationships.

Talking and talking, but in less than half an hour, the rain stopped, and a beautiful rainbow hung in the distant sky.

Li Xingzhou went downstairs and continued to drive north, but after hiding from the rain once, he became more cautious.

Immediately after passing Qigou Pass is Yanshan Mansion, which is the front line adjacent to Jin Kingdom.

Yan Shen's former army should have arrived at Yanshan Mansion by this time, setting up a camp for the army.

A large number of supplies have also been transported by sea to Yanshan Mansion for storage. As strategic materials for the army, it can be said that everything is ready. As long as the rear army arrives at Yanshan Mansion, the [-] troops will be fully ready for combat.

On the last day of May, Li Xingzhou's Chinese army arrived at the foot of Yanshan City. Wei Chaoren personally led the guards and officials out of the city to meet them.

When we met again, Wei Chaoren seemed to be much older.

Li Xingzhou helped him up: "Your Majesty Wei has worked hard. If this Yanshan Mansion did not have you, the Jin people might have gone south by now."

"His Royal Highness congratulates you. What the veterans do is their duty. It is fine to die for the country and the country. I dare not say that it is hard work or hard work."

After exchanging pleasantries, Li Xingzhou led people into the city, while Liu Ji, Yang Hongzhao, and Wei Yubai commanded the army and pitched a camp outside the north gate of the city.

The flags were flying and the sky was full of dust. The camps of the former army and the Chinese army were connected in one piece outside the north gate, spreading for dozens of miles from west to east. Fortunately, the terrain outside the city was flat and open, so the camp did not stretch much longer.

Now it is waiting for the rear army, and when the rear army arrives, the camp of the [-] troops will cover an area larger than Yanshan City itself, and such a large camp will take at least ten days to complete even if the new army is well-trained.

Li Xingzhou is not in a hurry, the most important thing is to stabilize his position.
